Package: autopkgtest
Severity: wishlist
Our Linux package makes heavy use of build profiles. Those can be used
to disable various parts of the build and this functionality is used in
our CI.
Now comes autopkgtest, tries to install all test dependencies and fails
if those packages have been excluded by build profiles. There you then
need to use the "skip-not-installable" restriction to ignore failures.
Please support build profiles to select which tests to execute. For
compatibility, it should support the $DEB_BUILD_PROFILES environment
variable as input.
